The main goal of Andrew Harris' research is understanding the
energetics and physical conditions within galaxies and their
nuclei. Part of this effort involves developing instrumentation for
radio observations over wide bandwidths and wide fields of view at
the Green Bank Observatory and other sites. Part of his effort
involves spectroscopy of individual high-redshift galaxies and of the
integrated molecular emission from clusters of galaxies. Closer to
home he uses data from the Herschel Space Telescope and the SOFIA
airborne observatory to probe our Galactic center, both to understand
the physical conditions in this complex region and to extrapolate to
observations of more distant galaxies.
